Hello everyone, I’ve just returned to g2 from a 5 month break. Im looking to play wvw, but I have no clue what build/gear to run with. Can anyone help?

Full valkyrie armor with berserker trinkets is a solid set up. 0/30/30/10/0/0 with D/P or is currently a popular build, but will be nerfed Dec 10th. Personally, I like 10/30/0/0/30, but that may be largely because I do more sPvP and am more used to a glassy build.

However, I would suggest having a S/P offset since it, along with Daggerstorm, is great for soloing supply camps.

That’s a standard, and very good D/D build for WvW. The only quibble — actually, let’s call it a question, as I’m not up to challenging Yishi on how to teef — is the choice of traits in Acrobatics. Falling damage does happen, and reducing it gives you more mobility, but it’s a bit of a niche skill.

I wondered on Yishi taking that skill as well until I tried it.

In WvW acrobatics line it more then just niche. It comes in very handy and has led to me getting many kills and escapes. If one is roaming as a thief and has that trait you can leap off cliffs and when that group chasing you thinks they got you, turn on them and take them out. It is great offensively and defensively.

I run almost an identical trait-line for P/P, and also with full Valk armor and rest Berserker. It’s extremely effective in WvW in every type of encounter.

Yea, Descent of Shadows is pretty awesome for WvW.

Also, after watching Yishis’ video…I think I might switch back to a SA spec like he has for WvW. The blind on stealth is a really strong trait for D/D.
